"It doesn’t get much more farm-to-table than Flora Farms, a bushy garden of flowers and palm trees where all the vegetables and herbs on your plate are grown on site, and the chicken and pork are raised humanely on a ranch nearby. In order to be as environmentally friendly as possible, the menu rotates seasonally, but reliably includes excellent Neapolitan-style pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven, a Bloody Mary made with heirloom tomato water, and very good ice cream. The restaurant includes both indoor and outdoor spaces, but we’re partial to the patio seating that’s right along patches of lanky sunflowers. " - nili blanck
